This Prometheus exporter is compatible with all backends supported by Restic. Some of them need additional environment variables for the secrets.
All configuration is done with environment variables:
-
RESTIC_REPO_URL
: Restic repository URL. All backends are supported. Examples:- Local repository:
/data
- REST Server:
rest:http://user:password@127.0.0.1:8000/
- Amazon S3:
s3:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name
- Backblaze B2:
b2:bucketname:path/to/repo
- Rclone (see notes below):
rclone:gd-backup:/restic
- Local repository:
-
RESTIC_REPO_PASSWORD
: Restic repository password in plain text. This is only required ifRESTIC_REPO_PASSWORD_FILE
is not defined. -
RESTIC_REPO_PASSWORD_FILE
: File with the Restic repository password in plain text. This is only required ifRESTIC_REPO_PASSWORD
is not defined. Remember to mount the Docker volume with the file. -
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
: (Optional) Required for Amazon S3, Minio and Wasabi backends. -
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
: (Optional) Required for Amazon S3, Minio and Wasabi backends. -
B2_ACCOUNT_ID
: (Optional) Required for Backblaze B2 backend. -
B2_ACCOUNT_KEY
: (Optional) Required for Backblaze B2 backend. -
REFRESH_INTERVAL
: (Optional) Refresh interval for the metrics in seconds. Computing the metrics is an expensive task, keep this value as high as possible. Default is60
seconds. -
LISTEN_PORT
: (Optional) The address the exporter should listen on. The default is8001
. -
LISTEN_ADDRESS
: (Optional) The address the exporter should listen on. The default is to listen on all addresses. -
LOG_LEVEL
: (Optional) Log level of the traces. The default isINFO
. -
EXIT_ON_ERROR
: (Optional) Shutdown exporter on anyrestic
error. Default isFlase
(only log error, such as network error with Cloud backends). -
NO_CHECK
: (Optional) Do not performrestic check
operation for performance reasons. Default isFalse
(performrestic check
). -
NO_STATS
: (Optional) Do not collect per backup statistics for performance reasons. Default isFalse
(collect per backup statistics). -
NO_LOCKS
: (Optional) Do not collect the number of locks. Default isFalse
(collect the number of locks). -
INCLUDE_PATHS
: (Optional) Include snapshot paths for each backup. The paths are separated by commas. Default isFalse
(not collect the paths).
Rclone is not included in the Docker image. You have to mount the Rclone executable and the Rclone configuration from the host machine. Here is an example with docker-compose:
version: '2.1'
services:
restic-exporter:
image: ngosang/restic-exporter
container_name: restic-exporter
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Madrid
- RESTIC_REPO_URL=rclone:gd-backup:/restic
- RESTIC_REPO_PASSWORD=
- REFRESH_INTERVAL=1800 # 30 min
volumes:
- /host_path/restic/data:/data
- /usr/bin/rclone:/usr/bin/rclone:ro
- /host_path/restic/rclone.conf:/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf:ro
ports:
- "8001:8001"
